To the OP, I love the black RVT1000s. The most beautiful bike I've ever seen in my opinion. Too bad technology makes their performance barely adequate with every passing year. Same story with my bike unfortunately.
2003 SV1000S. K&N with airbox mod, timing retard eliminator, heavier oil in the front forks stiffer spring out back, and a fender eliminator. I painted it with a custom one off color about a year ago. 4 stage color 8 stage clearcoat, with solid 24 karat goldleaf graphics placed the middle of the 8 clearcoat layers.
